Google to pay $28 million to settle claims it favored white and Asian employees

A big win for equal pay! 💪⚖️

Google has agreed to pay $28 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it favored white and Asian employees over Hispanic, Latinx, Indigenous, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Alaska Native employees in pay and career advancement.

This is a huge step forward for workplace equity, and we want to recognize the incredible work of Gunn Coble and Kramer Brown Hui LLP in securing this outcome. Their advocacy highlights the ongoing fight for fair pay and equal opportunities for all employees.

While Google denies wrongdoing, this settlement sends a clear message: pay disparities and unfair promotion practices must be addressed.

The case brings visibility to the systemic barriers many employees face. We admire the courage of those who stood up to fight and those who shared salary information to push for change.
